Bistrot La Minette

I ate at La Minette last night and it was incredible. It was my first time there and have been hearing good things. In this little French bistro craze in Philly, this is THE most authentic of them all by far. Fries, and onion soup don't make a real bistro people, this place is like being in France for real. Frogs legs, awesome snails, braised rabbit with handmade noodles and ridiculous good raspberry tart. I see the word "bistro" get thrown around an awful lot for restaurants that aren't actually bistros. Example Bibou of late...Bibou is a fabulous restaurant, but it's simply not a bistro. I'm a sucker for authenticity and La Minette has me! I will return and their outdoor courtyard seating is beautiful. Good place for larger parties as well with a nice private dinner table.
